A few pictures

So my dad and I went out to the lake on base to take some pictures for fun. He just got a new camera and I think he just wanted to try out some stuff. So we headed out there around 4:30 and the sun was already starting to go down, but it did give us some beautiful light and a beautiful sunset. So here are some of the pictures I took, they're not that great, but you'll still see some of the stuff that makes Louisiana beautiful.


Okay, I tried to be creative...didn't really work out, but I thought the picture was still fun.



This was just a random tree that I thought looked kind of cool cause it had all these little balls growing on it.



This was just a little dock on the lake that we stood on to get some of the pictures.



I took this on our way back home. It was actually kinda hard to do it with the car moving, but I thought the sunset was really beautiful. The only thing I would have changed would have been to make the water tower scoot a little to the left or right so that it wasn't right in the middle, but when you're driving in a car, its kind of a one time shot thing. :)



A little dark, the sun was starting to go down.



Heres where we got the good light. Those trees in the back aren't usually that color.

Sad, but true.

So...Christmas has come and gone...and I have not taken a single picture. Sad. I have no idea why I didn't but it might have to do with the fact that Christmas just wasn't a big deal this year. We didn't do anything special, or have a big celebration or anything. We got up at like 10, and went down and opened the few presents we had, then went to go see National Treasure (which was pretty good). Christmas was good though. Its nice to be home. I'm just super excited to go to Italy next monday. I can't wait.

I decided that I'm moving in with my Nana and Papa in Bountiful for the winter semester. I'll be going there on the 21st of January, but making a trip up to Rexburg that weekend to go to the Rexburg Temple Open House. I'm pretty excited about that too, cause I've never been to an open house. But when I get back, its finding a job that will be my next adventure.

Also, my old roommate Emily is moving to the Netherlands to nanny for an LDS family there, and she will be there for a year. I randomly looked up plane tickets to Amsterdam in March, and found that they have fairly cheap flights over there...so I am DEFINITELY going to be looking into that. This would be a great adventure and probably wouldn't be much of an option any other time, so this would be a good opportunity to do some more traveling and hang out with a friend that I may not see again. I don't know though. We shall see.

Finals!!

Okay so I hate school SOO much right now. I've been super stressed this whole week studying, and working on last minute projects and homework. I'm so ready for it to be over now. I'm still unsure of what I'm doing in the winter though, which is scary to me. I hate not having a plan. I'm definitely one of those people that always has to have a plan for everything. I'm just not spontaneous. I like to know what I'm going to be doing. Lame, I know.
I just finished up the last of my in-class finals...I just need to do my take-home final for statistics and some extra credit for that class (I desperately need it). Other than that, I'm home free. I'm actually really depressed about leaving Rexburg this semester. I have like 3 friends graduating this semester, 2 next semester, 1 leaving on a mission, 2 moving to China, and 1 having a baby. I'm going to miss out on so much stuff. Summer semester is going to be quite boring if I decide to come back. None of my friends will be here anymore hardly. I'm sick of this growing up thing. Why can't things just stay the same forever? Why can't we all just have nice little houses down the street from each other and grow old together? I know, thats very unrealistic of me, but seriously...I'm going to miss a whole bunch of people. :( I'm really sad.
